amd apu sli ?

[Cesar.gonz341]

i am planing to make a upgrade to my old pc i curently have amd fx6300 with a fxf 7970 6 gb ddr3 750w power supply (i wanted room for upgrading in the future)i wanted to know 

1. what apu should i get 

2.can a amd apu be sli with a normal gpu and if i did that with my current gpu would it just slow it down 

3.if i do get a apu will i be able to overclock both individualy 

4.i plan on water cooling it should i get a thicker 120 or just a 240 i dont mind making a custom loop or buying a aio

5(cheep ddr4 ram prices) lol 

much thanks -z

Can you afford the r5 2400g?

yup yup i can go on

1. if it's in your budget, get the r5 2400g

2. SLi is for Nvidia graphics cards. You're looking for crossfire. Also, if it was possible, it would slow down your GPU a lot.

3. Yes, graphics overclocking and CPU overclocking are independent, even on an APU, same as if you had a graphics card. Just remember, all that thermal output is in one single place.

4. A custom loop seems excessive for an APU, but if you have big plans for a graphics card in the future, it would be worth it to get excellent CPU frequencies in excess of 5.0 GHz on all cores. Otherwise, just get a 240.

i would either get a 2200G or a i3-8100+ 1050 ti, 2400G is not worth it imo.

2400g is super worth it for upgradability in the future. 4c/8t and higher clocks out of the box vs 4c/4t? Multitasking suffers on low threaded CPUs anyway, why not shoot for the better CPU if it's in budget? Also it has more graphics cores so pre gpu performance is better
